Before Goethe and Schiller claimed him, Shakespeare travelled Europe with strolling English players. History stepped onto foreign stages. In this landmark study of shakespearean theater history, Albert Cohn uncovers how English actors in Germany and the Netherlands carried Elizabethan and Jacobean drama across borders in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, reshaping performance traditions and audiences alike. Drawing on archival traces and contemporary accounts, Cohn traces the troupes that roamed early modern German theater and the seventeenth century Netherlands stage, showing exactly which plays were performed, where, and how they were received. From sixteenth century German theater troupes to improvised court entertainments, he maps the spread of Shakespeare and his contemporaries onto the Continent. The result is a foundational historical drama research book and scholarly Shakespeare reference, essential for understanding the early history of Shakespeare performances in Europe and the wider history of shakespeare reception. Clear, detailed notes make it an invaluable reference for theater historians and for Shakespeare scholars, while the vivid glimpses of travelling players, bustling fairground shows, and multilingual performances invite any curious reader into a forgotten theatrical world. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
